    At our wedding we couldn't afford the full band, so Peter reached out and offered to be the DJ. I met him once before the wedding in person and had several phone conversations. He's very organized and has a streamlined process for choosing music. He also got a great live guitar player for our ceremony. Very affordable, can't say enough good things!

    Wonderful DJ (Peter) was hired for our wedding, and I can't say enough good things! Really nailed our taste in music from the conversations we had, and was professional and courteous to all the guests. Everyone loved him, and raved about the music.

    Don't hesitate, these guys are pros!! You won't regret it!!

    Congratulations - you've found your wedding band! We're trying to think of another party we can host just so we can book the Rhythm Dogs again. Believe us - this is the music that your guests want to dance to!

    Peter was an absolute gem to work with as we planned what we felt was the most important piece of our wedding - the music! We had numerous discussions with Peter and a meeting with him at the venue about song selection and the order and flow of the reception. We were very grateful for Peter's expertise and advice about what schedule would work best. The band was flexible with us as we squished in a much-desired horns section into our smaller sized dance floor. Most importantly, the band put on an amazing show for us and our guests. It's very evident that this is an experienced band who loves what they do and it's clear their priority is to keep the party going. We danced non-stop, even through the band breaks during which Peter DJ'ed.

    Nearly all of our guests made a point to let us know how fabulous the band was - I wouldn't be surprised if another of our friend's wedding also featured the Rhythm Dogs!

    The Rhythm Dogs made our wedding so special. Everyone commented on how awesome the band was; they honestly made the night. Our guests (and we) didn't want to leave the dance floor!

    The Rhythm Dogs also played every song that I requested, including those that weren't on their set list. They were incredibly professional, fun and responsive. I can't recommend them enough!

    The Rhythm Dogs were so awesome!!!! Everybody from my wedding got up to dance and were commenting all through the night how much they were enjoying the music. They are extremely professional and come up with plans that can meet your budget. I would recommend them to anyone!!! So excellent!!!!

    Awesome musicians to make your wedding special

    Peter was very attentive, flexible, and professional throughout the preparation process. The band and their music - amazing. One of our friends chose them for their wedding since they loved the band so much from our wedding. Highly recommended!

    A good friend recommended that we use Pete as our wedding DJ, and we're so happy we did! Not only is he highly in-touch with what will make people get on the dance floor, but he is also extremely easy to work with and a genuinely nice guy. We wanted to "update" several wedding traditions in our own style (e.g., invite everyone to join us during our first dance) and Pete listened to what we were looking for and made the evening go flawlessly. We had a lot of questions throughout the planning process, and he was responsive and patient with all of our emails, and took additional time to meet with us in person. He regularly DJs in NYC on weekends and has every song you could ever want at his fingertips. He made our wedding upbeat, fun and high energy -- just what we wanted. We would use him again in a heartbeat!!

    I cannot say enough good things about The Rhythm Dogs!!!! Not only are they an incredibly talented band, but Peter Brown, the band leader was thoughtful and super-chill (which is really important for a bride planning a wedding).

    I had a few unique requests which the bad was more than able to accommodate and they worked seamlessly with my photographer and caterer to make sure all the major moments of the evening were hit according to my schedule.

    My guests could not stop talking about how incredible the band sounded and they danced all night which is all the proof you need to know that they are an Amazing Band, not just a "wedding band".

    We had a wonderful experience working with Rhythm Dogs. Pete DJ'd our party and was incredibly easy to communicate with about all our wishes. He was also very proactive about sorting out any details he had questions about regarding the party or the music. We felt very taken care of. And the end result was great.

    Finally, in addition, to providing DJ services, Pete and his team assisted in all the technical-sound needs throughout the day which was a great help to make sure that everything went seamlessly.

    I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for music for their party.

    Rhythm Dogs provided a fun and great evening of music for our daughter's wedding!
    They were easy to deal with, prompt to respond to our inquiries and sounded great under the tent at the beach!!
    Our friends and family loved them and had a great time!

    Peter and the rest of the Rhythm Dogs absolutely made our wedding! They were super easy to work with, very professional, and really understood what kind of party we were going for. They kept everyone up and dancing all night, and all of our friends and family raved about the music. They also helped emcee the rest of the night and made everything run smoothly. I can't recommend them highly enough!

    The Rhythm Dogs were a great band and we were so lucky to have them perform as a six piece at our wedding in Long Island City, Queens. May I say - the saxophone was worth it! :) They met our requests to learn the songs for our dances as well as Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" (as I am a huge Taylor Swift fan). Grandparents to toddlers had a blast and got up and shook their booty. They also helped pace the events at the wedding and serve as a DJ. I highly recommend the Rhythm Dogs for some fun and lively entertainment for your event!

    The Rhythm Dogs were fabulous! They were easy to communicate with prior to our wedding, happy to talk through ideas, and were prompt and responsive. I was absolutely thrilled with the music at our wedding. We had them do everything from ceremony, to cocktails, to reception and I am so thrilled that we had them there for all of that. Our guests danced the night away and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. I recommend them without any reservations.

    I can't say enough about the rhythm dogs. All the guests were up and dancing the whole night-the music was fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better band. We are so happy we had the rhythm dogs play at our wedding!

    We love the Rhythm Dogs. Peter couldn't have been more responsive and flexible. He worked out a way to get a professional-size keyboard up on an open-air ski-lift to the mountain-top ceremony!

    Rhythm Dogs worked their magic throughout our entire wedding day, and during the reception, they had everyone packed onto the dancefloor, and a crowd of guest "groupies" were just watching them and dancing in front of them! Saxophone player was especially phenomenal.

    Every song we asked them to play (or learn), they did with ease. Their voices and music were flawless. I can't count the number of people who said how incredible they were. Some even asked for their contact info for future events of their own!

    If you're looking for a top-notch, professional band, who elevates your wedding to the next level, go with The Rhythm Dogs!

    the Rhythm Dogs provided music for our cocktail hour and reception. we used the full band as well as the DJ. they were absolutely fantastic! they kept the party going and were wonderful emcees. we got tons of compliments and people had a great time dancing all night.

    we worked with Peter Brown. he is friendly, responsive, and just an all around cool guy. he answered all of my emails within a day (if not within minutes or hours!). he took care of the order of events and really made everything stress-free.

    i couldn't have asked for a better band, or a better person to do business with. i recommend the Rhythm Dogs without hesitation!

    We couldn't recommend Rhythm Dogs more! From our first dance to Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life" to our last dance to Bob Marley's "One Love," the band showed top notch energy, sound and fun. Professional, pleasant and super talented all around, we'd hire them again and again!

    The Rhythm Dogs exceeded all of our expectations - which were set pretty high going into the evening. They delivered on everything they had promised, which was a soulful & joyous set of authentic, uplifting, feel-good live music. The energy & chemistry the band shares is unprecedented, and the good vibes poured into the audience song after money-maker-shaking song. Don't give it a second thought - book these guys & enjoy the night.

    Highly professional band and dj. They had the guests up and dancing the entire time. Peter and the band answered all our questions promptly and courteously and made our evening very successful. We would highly recommend them for any function you are contemplating.

    Pete did an absolutely amazing job as a DJ at our wedding! I was extremely busy with a new job and a baby at home and did not have time to give Pete much direction for our wedding music. With the very little direction I provided, he knew EXACTLY what to do. Our guests did not want to leave the dance floor!

    I would highly recommend Pete and the Rhythm Dogs for any wedding .

    Thankfully, the wedding coordinator for our venue suggested the Rhythm Dogs because another couple that was getting married had hired them for the venue, even though the venue was in Vermont. We had our wedding in Vermont, even though we are from New Jersey. This allowed members of my family to go into NYC to see a showcase before we officially hired them. (Even though my husband and I knew right away they were exactly what we were looking for just by listening to them online) Hiring the Rhythm Dogs for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Personally, I feel the quality and type of music at a wedding sets the tone. They performed above and beyond what we could have anticipated. All of the musicians and singers are incredibly talented. They were also very accommodating with playing all of the kinds of music my husband and I asked them to play. I am so thankful they were able to travel to Vermont from NYC to play at our wedding. Most of our 200+ guests were on the dance floor the entire night. I could not be happier with the Rhythm Dogs's performance. They were a key component for making our wedding night a dream come true! I would recommend the Rhythm Dogs to anyone who wants to have a good time at their event.

    We absolutely loved the Rhythm Dogs. Peter Brown, the manager was super responsive and easy to work with and made planning stress free. We had our wedding at a farm in NJ but they were happy to play at a unique venue for our reception. We found them through a friend that highly recommended them but did not hear them play until our first dance and then we were blown away! The lead singers were amazing and they kept the dance floor rocking all night, it was packed with all ages! At the end of the night the DJ played some songs to keep the party going. I had so many people come up to me to tell me what a great band and ask where I found them. AND they were very reasonably priced compared to other bands we looked at in the NY/NJ area and could play pretty much anythingl I would say they made the wedding for us! I only wish we could have had them play longer (we had a sound curfew) or hire them again!!

    Peter Dj'd our wedding and was an absolutely pleasure to work with. He was so laid back, yet helpful. Anything we wanted, he provided. He also knew what to give us when we weren't exactly sure what we wanted, for example, we had forgotten to choose a song to be introduced to, Peter had songs prepared for us based on previous songs we had chosen. He has a great concept of music and will really go above and beyond to make you happy. I highly highly highly recommend Peter!
